Hands-on science

"By doing the simple science projects in this book, young scientists will discover if air has weight, if one can make a cloud, and the reason the sky is blue. The experiments use materials found at home or at school. Young scientists can take what they've learned from these experiments and use suggestions to create their own unique science fair projects. Detailed explanations explain the science used in each experiment"--Provided by publisher.

These giant books of projects and experiments take a hands-on approach to science concepts. Hundreds of simple and easy experiments explore various scientific principles behind natural phenomena like friction, centrifugal force, and the underlying laws of physics that help make machines work.
